Saint Leo Swimming Enjoys Banner Year

May 14, 2014

The 2013-14 Saint Leo University swimming season proved to be one of the best in program history, both in the pool, and more importantly, in the classroom. That fact didn't go unnoticed in the swimming community as head coach Paul Mangen's Lions became regulars on awards lists at the conference and national levels.

"I am very proud of both our men's and women's teams being able to be ranked nationally in the pool, as well as in the classroom," said Mangen. "It shows great balance, that we are selecting the right people, and facilitating as we need to here at Saint Leo University."

With Saint Leo's continued success and making noise on the national stage at the NCAA Championships, a relatively young team returning on both the men's and women's sides, and a solid core of newcomers coming in next year, the future remains bright for the Lions.

"It is no secret that success breeds success," said Mangen. "So, with that being said, because of our achievements this season it bodes well for our recruiting and evaluation for the next few years. We are continuing to attract top level athletes, great scholars, and fantastic people. Student-athletes that the University community can be proud of and that exemplify our core values."

Below are a list of accomplishments from the 2013-14 Lions' men's and women's swimming season.
